XI.

French.

Le prochain, fils de l’_Aisnier_ parviendra, Tant eslevé jusqu’au au Regne des fors, Son aspre gloire un chascun la craindra, Mais les enfans du Regne jettez hors.

English.

The eldest Son of l’_Aisnier_ shall prosper, Being raised to the degree of the great ones, Every one shall fear his high glory, But his children shall be cast out.

ANNOT.

This is an Horoscope, for the Interpretation of which we are beholding to, Mr. _Mannessier_ of _Amiens_, who saith that the Father of the Lords l’_Aisniers_ writ to _Nostradamus_ his friend, to know his childrens fortune, who sent him those four Verses for an answer, by which it is evident that the eldest should be an eminent Man, as it fell out, being one of the chiefest men in the Province of _Anjou_, and one of the chiefest instruments to make Peace between _Louis_ the XIII. and his Mother _Mary_ of _Medicis_, after the Battle of _Pont de Cé_.

The fourth Verse saith, that some of his other Children should be expelled the Kingdom, as it happened by reason of a false report raised against one of them, which compelled him to retire into _Portugal_ till the truth was known, as it was afterwards to his great repute and honour.
